Condiments.

While condiments arc Of very little
benefit as articles Of food, yet they play
an important part in stimulating digcs-
ton, and as factors in producing nerve
force
The principal condiments arc pepper
cayenne, mustard, horseladish and vine,
gar; and should be used with discretion.
Their constant use causes debility in Ger.
tain tissues; but when moderately used,
the disturbance produced is not worth
considering, especially when compared
with the benefits which follow
Condiments are Of great benefit in aid
ing the digestion of substances which
would otherwise be slowly acted upon NV
the digestive organs Their action in
crcascs the amount Of saliva sccrctcd !;
and in many cases where the appetite is
deficient they arouse it, and cause the
patient to eat more than he otherwise
would.
Condiments are very seldom given
proper attention in the sick room. The
patient is usually allowed to use them
without stint, whereas much benefit
may be obtained by their judicious use.
In many cases Of diurhUa, black pep

The Chestnut Bell 0 utdOne.

The inventor of the chestnut bell
was before the patent Office yester'
day endeavoring to patent an lm-
provement oD his previous afro
cious invention. The improve
ment consists of an attach
ment, which will probably give a
new lease of lite to the now obso'
lete chestnut bell. The new device
consists of an elastic band con-
nected with the bell, but fastened
to the other side ot the waiSicoat'
When the bell is struck a miniature
rat rms across the breast of the
vearer and stops in full view OF
the victim. To make it more effec
tive, the word "rats' in white let
ters on black background Is
inscribed on the rat. The inventor
wanted n patent that would cover
not only the device, but the word
"ratgn also, his idea being to pre-
vent any infringement on this ex
preston. After due dellberatlon
the examiner decided that so neces
sary a word as rats was not
nateutable and declined to grant
the monopoly to the enterprislns
inventor. The other features OF
the device we're favorably acte'
upon.- Washington star.
